The CHEP conferences address the computing, networking and software issues for the world’s leading data‐intensive science experiments that currently analyze hundreds of petabytes of data using worldwide computing resources. The Conference provides a unique opportunity for computing experts across Particle and Nuclear Physics to come together to learn from each other and typically attracts over 500 participants. The event features plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and poster presentations; it publishes peer-reviewed proceedings.
The focus of the conference evolves with time to highlight changing technologies and major scientific initiatives. Through the plenary sessions, related scientific and computing topics are presented to ensure a broad and thoughtful program that engages the community. This edition of the conference will place special emphasis on high-performance data organization, management, and access (DOMA), a topic of interest and relevance throughout the scientific community.
The nine parallel session tracks focus on specific topics and often have very animated discussions on the technical merits of various approaches. Birds of a feather sessions promote international communities of common interest.
The CHEP 2023 organizers are committed to fostering a supportive and diverse environment with opportunities for everyone. We take a positive attitude towards having full participation from the whole community and everybody in the field is encouraged to attend. Attendance of students at CHEP 2023 is strongly encouraged. A diversity event will be scheduled.
The CHEP conference location rotates between the Americas, Asia and Europe, and is typically held eighteen months apart. The CHEP 2023 conference will be hosted by the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) at the newly renovated Norfolk Marriott Waterside hotel in Norfolk, Virginia.
The conference will be held from Monday, May 8, 2023, through Friday, May 12, 2023. For the most up-to-date travel guidelines, please reference https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel-during-covid19.html.

The International Conference “Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity” aims to bring together scientists working across the different research fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and modified gravity. We want to look at the dark matter problem from different perspectives, considering it to be of particle nature, as well as modification of gravity. This meeting is intended to initiate cross-field discussions of dark matter searches, their current status, and future prospects.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
- Dark matter in compact stars (neutron stars, white dwarfs, exotic stars)
- Multi-messenger and gravitational wave probes of dark matter
- Models of dark matter
- Cosmology
- Modified gravity
We seek to encourage dialogue between different research groups to enhance collaboration and help to improve our understanding of dark matter. The conference is also planned to introduce the dark matter research field to encourage attendance by young scientists including Ph.D. students.
The meeting will be held at the Centro de Congressos, Center for Astrophysics and Gravitation, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal.
PARTICIPANTS
Registration for the conference is free of charge. Maximum attendance is 120, to ensure all participants are comfortable and have ample opportunities to interact with one another.

The Muon4Future workshop aims to start a discussion that, for the first time, compares the results of the muon-based experiments, involving both the experimental and theoretical communities. Such a comparison is indispensable today since many of the discrepancies between the Standard Model and the measurements are concentrated in the muon sector. The purpose of the workshop is not only limited to examining the experiments currently carried out in data taking or already approved and/or under construction, but it also aims at discussing possible future proposals. The goal is to identify the most promising physics experiments and measurements that would allow to further test the Standard Model and search for new physics, comparing new ideas, relevant issues and related challenges.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published. A report containing the summary and the findings of the discussions of each session including Wednesday afternoon, will be prepared and published. The session conveners will be the editors and the workshop participants the authors of such a publication.
The Workshop will be held in presence in Venice, at “Palazzo Franchetti” of the “Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti”. The Workshop will have plenary sessions and talks are given by invited speakers.
To participate to the workshop a fee has to be paid and registration is mandatory through the relevant registration form on this site.
Before registering and make the payment, please visit the page “Fee and Payment” on this site, for all detailed instruction.
The Workshop is organized by INFN-Sezione di Padova with the support of the Physics and Astronomy Department of Padova University.
The 2nd annual Commercialising Quantum Global will help senior business leaders to understand if and when they should adopt quantum technology.
Under the stewardship of editors from The Economist, at Commercialising Quantum, we will discuss how organisations can get the most out of quantum. The two-day agenda will cover the promise, the perils, the applications, the limitations, the hype and the reality of quantum.
The event will empower you to evaluate if and when you should invest in quantum technologies. The expected global recession in 2023 will force enterprises to make tough choices about where to invest. Does it make sense to capitalise on quantum technology today?

The Flavor Physics and CP Violation (FPCP) conferences are intended for the exchange of new ideas, for presentation of the latest experimental and theoretical results in the areas included in the conference title, and for discussions about future projects in the field. The conference is open to all experimental and theoretical physicists interested in the field.
This conference series results from the merging of the Heavy Flavor Physics Conference and the International Conference on B Physics and CP Violation in 2002.
The LHCP conference series started in 2013 after a successful fusion of two international conferences, “Physics at Large Hadron Collider Conference” and “Hadron Collider Physics Symposium”. The programme will contain a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results on collider physics, with many final results of the Large Hadron Collider Run-2, potentially a first glimpse of the upgraded accelerator and detector operation in Run-3, and discussions on further research directions within the high energy particle physics community, both in theory and experiment.
The main goal of the conference is to provide intense and lively discussions between experimenters and theorists in such research areas as the Standard Model Physics and Beyond, the Higgs Boson, Heavy Quark Physics and Heavy Ion Physics as well as to share recent progress in the high luminosity upgrades and future collider developments.
This four-week programme brings together world-leading experts working at the intersection of quantum-information sciences (QIS) and high-energy physics (HEP), with a focus on quantum simulation, quantum machine learning, and tensor networks. Each represents an area with outstanding problems, or where imminent significant progress is anticipated. Quantum algorithms are predicted to outperform classical algorithms, and quantum hardware continues to improve in scale, reliability, and applicability. With advances in theory, algorithm, and hardware over the past decade, the interest in applying QIS paradigms to answer questions in HEP has surged. Quantum simulation of HEP will enable studies of large entangled Hilbert spaces and offers a solution to the sign problem, situations where classical methods appear insufficient. The physics applications span many HEP topics: realtime dynamics of matter in and out of equilibrium in collider experiments and early universe, nonperturbative inputs into event generators for the LHC and beyond, predicting the QCD equation of state for LIGO and astrophysics, and insights into quantum gravity and black-hole physics. In recent years, progress has been made in finding efficient formulations, realistic analog proposals, nearand far-term digital algorithms, and small hardware demonstrations. Developing a clear understanding of where the boundary of quantum advantage lies in HEP simulations is an objective of the community in the coming years.Today, machine learning is a vital tool for big data analysis. Consequently, quantum machine learning has the potential to further enhance, speed up or altogether change the process of data analysis. Existing applications of quantum machine learning to high-energy physics include supervised classification tasks for reconstructed objects or processes, e.g. signal discrimination, anomaly detection methods, and particle track reconstruction. Tensor networks can be thought of as a data compression protocol to describe quantum systems by representing wave functions through a network of properly dovetailed interconnected building blocks. These networks are found to provide accurate encodings of the relevant properties, including quantum entanglement: they have been shown to provide insights in regimes where Monte Carlo simulations are not always applicable, such as finite-density of fermions and real time dynamics, while facing challenges in higher dimensional systems. These and related developments may allow researchers to apply tensor networks to a wide class of problems in high-energy physics, and to take advantage of them in benchmarking and guiding quantum-simulation protocols.
FCC week 2022 will bring together the worldwide community working towards a world-leading high-energy physics infrastructure for the 21st century. The meeting covers Accelerator, Detector and Physics studies as well as progress on Technological R&D, ongoing placement studies and the assessment of its environmental and socio-economic impact.
Taking place in a hybrid format, the meeting will give the opportunity to share results, build new collaborations and solidify the vision of a post-LHC circular particle-collider. Furthermore, the meeting will offer opportunities to discuss and plan activities in the framework of the EU-funded H2020 FCCIS project.
The event will follow the traditional layout of plenary and parallel sessions with invited contributions. Plenary sessions will give an overview about the ongoing activities across all parts of the study and serve to inform study members about the updated boundary conditions from placement studies, the latest machine parameters and progress on understanding the physics potential that the FCC integrated programme can offer during its lifetime. Parallel sessions will focus on specific areas of the study. Satellite meetings for related projects and governance bodies of the FCC study will be included in the programme that is being developed. Participation of industry is highly encouraged as addressing the technological challenges of a new research infrastructure presents opportunities for co-innovation.
The work carried out in the framework of the FCC Feasibility Study will inform the next update of the European Strategy while can have an impact on areas beyond particle physics. Thus we invite novel and innovative approaches to address the challenges of the FCCs and contribute in turning them to reality. We strongly encourage colleagues working in the different areas covered by the FCC study to submit their abstract and posters. Register now and join these efforts and contributing with their expertise in the efficient and sustainable implementation of these machines
